Chiming in on the "people plugging on CBB" topic, taking a look at the last 7 eps (371 - 377) shows that other than myuuuuusical guests Diane Coffee and Peaches, only Jemaine Clement was on expressly for promotion. 377 - Tatiana Maslany, Kristian Bruun, PFT, Lapkus 376 - Peaches, O'Doherty, Hines - the concept of music PLUGGED 375 - St. Clair, Parham, Huskey, Morris, Lapkus & Mantzoukas 374 - Campbell, Rust, Gillespie 373 - Eric Stonestreet, Brendon Small 372 - Diane Coffee, Hanford, Sanz - the concept of music PLUGGED 371 - Jemaine Clement, Wild Horses - Clement film PLUGGED I give musical guests a pass because what they're there to ostensibly promote is also what they just flat out DO on the podcast— they play some songs. Guests being in the industry and Scott asking them about their career doesn't necessarily equate to guests only showing up to hock their new projects. I'd count Stonestreet among these types of guests. He was there to chat. The fact that he is on Modern Family is impossible to ignore. In a month, out of 7 episodes, 3 had guests there to promote, and of those 3, only 1 was a non-musical guest. The other 2 played songs. Not bad. Go back another 7 eps, and there are more people on to plug projects, and a lot of them are Earwolf family. If they can't plug on CBB, where can they plug? Amy Poehler came on whenever a new season of Parks started. Benny Schwaz came on whenever a new season of House of Pies LIVE started. There's a Plugs section in the show. CBB is part talk show. Promotion is part and parcel with it. 370 - PFT, Gourley - Howl PLUGGED 369 - Savage, Wilson, Phirman, Schneider - Hotwives PLUGGED 368 - Scheer, Huebel - Crash Test PLUGGED 367 - Gelman, J.Daly, Heidecker 366 - Goldthwait, Wengert, Hines - Bobcat film PLUGGED 365 - Mantzoukas, A.Daly, PFT 364 - Michael Ian Black, Lapkus - MIB PLUGGED Unfamiliar guests there to promote has never been a B-B-B-Bonus-s-s-s episode thing. I believe Scott once said those eps were for more regular-CBB type stuff after a Monday show had a first-time guest who was there primarily to promote. Also, a Thursday CBB is often used for Scott to plug himself, since it's a good reminder for everyone to tune in to CBBTV on Thursday or Friday nights over the past few years. There are a lot of reasons to have Thursday eps, and unfamiliar guests coming on to plug their projects has never really been the impetus for a Thursday show, to the best of my recollection.

Oh yay! Maslany! She got to come on the show!

Motion on the floor— I move that Will Hines and Joe Wenger (WENGERT!) need to be guests together. I love their characters. They're always a loose concept, and then they just swallow up all of the things being said and incorporate them flawlessly into their characters. I think the two of them together would be A-MA-ZING.

JERRY: Our generation also kind of blazed a trail for divorce. Uhhh, uh, you of course- SHIRLEY: I've done it a few times, but- JERRY: You've done it a few times, but uh, I never did, but uh, I never remarried, but, yeah. I just, you've just gotta be careful because a young man, especially in this day and age, there's a lot of uhh, uh, temptation out there. There's a lot of stuff in the media. We can kind of blame ourselves for making divorce-- back in the '50s nobody got divorced. SHIRLEY: Oh, I know. JERRY: My parents should've gotten divorced but they stayed together for a very long time, so uh- SHIRLEY: I don't think we'll be getting divorced. JERRY: Well, you never know, is all I'm saying, but uhh- SHIRLEY: Well, I don't think that. JERRY: Ok. Yeesh, Shirley. haha I'd just like to take this opportunity of Urbaniak's lovely presence in this podcast to recommend with HIGHEST honors James' podcast 'Getting On w/James Urbaniak.' It's SO good. 22 eps. The last one, 'Status', is amazing. I'd recommend it if you're unfamiliar, and if it sparks something in you, go and listen to the other 21. They're all little fictional vignettes and can be listened to in any order. Seriously. It's a gem of a podcast.

SETH: Well, he wasn't saying to cover up your midriff, which is the most unattractive part of your body. MARISSA: Hey Seth- LIONEL: I was gonna say you could use one of those refrigerator boxes to cover up your- SETH: WE'VE GOT ENOUGH OF 'EM! HEH HAH HAAAAHHHHHEEEHHRRRR-YAHHHHaahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

SCOTT: I've heard of the movie Seventeen Again, but in life?! LIONEL: Now that's funny. LISTLER: I haven't heard of that movie. What movie is that? MARISSA: We've gotten- Thumbs down. We got- SETH: I don't know it so it's lost on me. MARISSA: Ok, here's what happened, ok? Let's just get all of the lies and the secrets and the videotapes just out on the table- SETH: SECRETS AND LIES WAS A MOVIE. HaHA! I can do it too, Aukerman. That Seth has a real chip on his shoulder.

Good ep!

Yes. It's fairly easy. You just look at who the guest was on the previous episode. They air in the order they are recorded, so it's fairly cut and dry.

I'm roughly 20 minutes in and I already know I'll be re-listening to this a couple more times. There are SO many amazing, throwaway lines. Everyone involved is killing it, and the movie reference sub-conversations are too funny. A bunch of characters with very specific mind sets talking about what only they want to talk about. It's giddy as hell. Can't wait for Dabney to show up for those caricatures!

Because it's funny. A character has a minor disagreement or is mildly annoyed, and then Scott amps up their outrage by 11 because he can describe what they're doing and they have to roll with it, podcasts being an aural medium and all. "Other than confirming and moving on." Not at all accurate. Comedy comes out of the performers' various reactions to Scott's new twist on their reality, and then they have to calm down or whatever it is they decide to do. It's like when Scott and Jason try to box Andy Daly in an improv corner. What's the point of trying to box Andy in when he just gets out of it and they move on? COMEDY.

I'm delighted Scott & Co noticed the 'interesting cracking' of Marco's voice during the Plugs section. As it was happening I immediately focused on it because I couldn't tell if it was an audio issue, maybe someone was making sounds underneath Marco's voice, etc. After Scott confirmed it was Gillepsie's voice making the noise, I had to go back and give it another listen. Crazy.

one of my new favorite Scott-isms, painting a verbal picture that must be yes and'd by John Lennon and the like.

"Ok, look- can we get that guy over there? Can he just grab my burger and fries and hand it to me?" "Who, ME??" "Yeah you, or any of- there's eight of you back there. Any of you can do it." "I- I- I'm busy! I'm busy!" "You're busy?" "I'm busy!" "Is everyone back there busy?" "I'm playin' Jenga!" I probably just woke up my neighbors.

Indeed. well before any sort of pay wall, I had an archive of podcasts I wanted to make sure I would always have (because sometimes stuff on the internet disappears!). That list consists of all of Analyze Phish, ADPPP, CBB, Dead Author's, Getting On with James Urbaniak, Harmontown, i4h, Pod F. Tompkast, Spontaneanation, Superego, and UTU2TM?.

Holland rules. This was such a fun ep. Mary is so game for whatever. She did that Midwest voice with Kulap (she slipped into a lot of great voices besides that one, of course), all of that wrecking ball improv talk with Howard, the TMNT question, the list goes on. She's so great!

Honest mistake, but I think you meant Victor!

Holy shit I am CRYING and silently choking back laughter at Tiny's style of Emmy support for Modern Family. Goddammit that was a funny episode.

Thank you for the reply! I don't know much about how Larry's been since the accident, I just remembered it was a pretty grizzly head injury and that's a long road to recovery no matter how you slice it. So when the chatter on the board was about the guys not getting a word in, it piqued my curiosity as to whether that was indicative of a healing brain or Larry just being Larry, who has always been a very talkative guy. Probably a little bit of both, I'd imagine.

For those who listened, did Larry go into any history about his head injury at all? I remember when that happened it was super-iffy whether or not he'd be able to do anything afterward.

Besser, what happened to James?! Did he make it?!?!

I had a hefty backlog of unlistened eps dating back to around April 2014, and I recently spent a week of mostly sleepless nights working my butt off doing a storyboard animation test. I jammed on R&B and man alive did they get me through the grind. Kept my spirits up. Kept my mind limber when my eyes were unrelentingly bleary. This is the first ep I get to listen to not under the gun of a deadline, and it feels glorious.

Can you please explain? Is this some sort of long, protracted feud or are you just being hyperbolic about their clashing on the VPN i4h ep when Brandon made comments about women in improv during a scene?

"So this isn't even music they would, like, annoy you with in an Uber." haha Oh Natasha. You're great. "I didn't fear for my life because of his, uh, lightsaber techniques." Fifth-Hand Tom Cruise Gossip should most definitely be a show! HOWARD: You talk to one of these wizards right here at Howl Earpop to take care of that, uhh, there's a lot of engineer types out there at the desks. NATASHA: (full body laughs) Howard, you're so good at saying the dumbest thing, like, it's so serious. This episode has been delightful. And Howard's right, Stan Lee is directly responsible for all of those damn Marvel films' similar tones, and he should just STAHP.

Nobody puts Korra in a corner. JV can laugh all the GD day. Get used to it or get avatar'd. HEY! Was this the ep that was recorded on the day that Jarles and his fencing team stormed in on that CBB episode from a few weeks back? EDIT: Oh, nope. I forgot there was a picture in that CBB ep's gallery of the Spont cast in the recording room with Andy Daly as Joe Bongo (or 'J'Bongo', as Jarles pronounces it), and while Janet Varney is also in that group, there are no other matches with the cast of this week's ep. Plus, Paul said that ep was dropping in September.
